The president of the Post Office, Pedro Saurahas had to intervene in the first person to prevent what appeared to be the first step to guarantee the future viability of the State postal operator – the labor agreement that the Treasury requires before the end of the year to support the rescue plan with the necessary resources. of the company – becomes a new stone in the already heavy backpack that the company is dragging.
The dissemination last week of a handful of labor reorganization proposals quite radical and, above all, the feeling that most unions have that these had emerged in a parallel negotiation behind their backs has led to an internal union revolt of all platforms with the sole exception of CC.OO., -that is, the unions that represent more than 60% of the company’s workforce-, which has paralyzed the negotiation of an agreement that should be closed before the end of the year to comply with the commitment made with the Ministry of Finance.
UGT, CSIF and the Free Union decided not to attend the meeting called last Tuesday, turning the meeting into a bilateral meeting between the company and the Comisiones Obreras union, the majority in Correos with 38% of the representation. His argument is that they had lost trust in the company’s interlocutorthe director of Human Resources, Fernando Ramírez, who is accused of having held a parallel negotiation behind the backs of the union majority to outline this critical labor agreement.
Union fray

The statement responded to a previous one from CC.OO. in which the abandonment of the negotiation table of the three platforms that bring together more than 60% of the company’s union representation was described as a “union tantrum” and stressed that the open negotiation was continuing because “it has not stopped in “no moment.”
